An aspiring comic book artist, Emma has drawn a picture of herself as a voluptuous warrior princess using this and Bob’s attitude as a spur for doing so, she goes ahead and has a breast enlargement.Įmma has also been chronicling the story of a movie director, Edward (Bernal), as he nears completion of his latest feature. Alas, Bob’s post-coital attempts at conversation soon fall flat and he makes unflattering comments about the size of Emma’s breasts. It’s both funny and disconcerting to see Emma and Bob being “watched” while they copulate, but it’s done in such a matter-of-fact way that the disconcerting aspect soon goes away (even if the love dolls’ voyeuristic perspective doesn’t). It certainly begins in an unexpected fashion, with two workers at a love doll factory, Emma (Pill) and Bob (Labine), having sex surrounded by the fruits of their labours. But this veering off is a major part of the movie’s charm, and while some twists and turns may seem frivolous, they all add to the huge amount of fun that can be had from Matt Hansen’s lively screenplay. It’s a likeable, good-natured movie that appears to veer off in unlikely directions in an effort to be “different”. Unafraid to take chances with its narrative, the movie invites the viewer along on a cleverly structured, and constructed, meta-ride that rewards them over and over again as the movie progresses. That’s the question you’ll be asking yourself if you watch Zoom, a freewheeling, energetic look at three lives that may or may not be intertwined, and one of which is presented in the same rotoscopic animation style as A Scanner Darkly (2006). A model who discovers she has a talent for writing. A movie director trying to make an artistic masterpiece. Cast: Gael García Bernal, Alison Pill, Mariana Ximenes, Tyler Labine, Don McKellar, Claudia Ohana, Michael Eklund, Jennifer Irwin, Jason Priestley, Clé BennettĪ worker in a factory that produces state of the art love dolls.
